The work is based on a collection of banknotes from different parts of the world. The bills are selected according to some visual similarities, as each of them portrays a different type of flower or plant, as symbols of the country they belongs to. The bills are folded and assembled, then covered with a carved
passepartout, which shows only the drawings of flowers and plants, while hiding the rest of the
banknote. The final result is a series of flower compositions, similar to bouquets. Each element of the series
is inserted between two transparent glass plates.
